The city has billed political campaigns in the past for police overtime and will continue to do so in the future, Farris said.

Contrast with...

But Portland's attempts to bill campaigns for police overtime is new, prompted in part by the increased costs to the city from the escalating protests in Portland when Bush visits.

I think the message is clear.

Say what you want but I don't see any problem with this at all.

This sounds almost corrupt though. A leftist mayor with an interest in billing her hated opponent. Conflict of interest if you ask me. She could very well spur protests and make them larger with the overall goal of hurting Bush.
